translation is kind of native though. It is almost like porting a winfows app to linux in real time, on the fly. It is pretty cool

Yeah it's pretty cool. Sometimes the translation can even beat native performance.

Sadly that's mostly true, but that may have more to do with devs lack of experience with Linux in general. Often they would have to outsource the port to Aspyr or another team.
